ringing in ears? tinnitus? help?

Question

Ok well, i figured out that the ringing in my ears was from my tv. so i turned it off, and the ringing was gone. a few minutes later i come back in the room and i hear it, with the tv off. i went shopping, to school, and i didn't hear it, so its not bad.

i'm seeing an ear nose throat specialist, so i'm glad about that.

would what i experienced be considered tinnitus? and i went to the dr, he said my ears were fine. (i told him about the ringing)

Answer 1

The ringing is caused by either nerve damage or hypersinsitive nerves , some people get over it in time while others don't ,some (as in my case) it gets worse.

Answer 2

Hello. I'm an Audiologist. Any sound inside your head is called tinnitus - it's a very broad, generalized term. Sometimes people hear ringing if there is a blockage of the ear -- from wax, negative pressure restricting eardrum movement, fluid build-up behind the eardrum, or an ear infection. In most cases, once the blockage is removed/treated and the ear has recovered, the ringing goes away. Does your ear actually feel plugged? You don't mention a clogged sensation or fullness or hearing loss. Just because you used an at-home wax removal kit doesn't mean there isn't wax. The only way to know for sure is to have a doctor look in there. If there is fluid behind the eardrum, it may not be visible through the otoscope; the best way to measure the eardrum movement is through a quick and easy test called a tympanogram. It simply changes the air pressure in the ear canal and measure if/how the eardrum responds. Tinnitus is also one of many Migraine Aura and may occur simultaneously with a headache or separately. Caffeine is a known Migraine trigger, so it can trigger/increase tinnitus for some people. In addition, some people who grind their teeth or have problems with their jaw joint (TMJ) can also have tinnitus. Noise exposure and systemic causes of tinnitus, like smoking or certain medications, typically effect both ears. One might be worse than the other, but almost never is only one ear effected. None of those herbal supplements have been scientifically proven to reduce or cure tinnitus. Ginko Biloba is the ONLY substance to date that has some scientific correlation to tinnitus reduction in SOME patients. More serious conditions can cause tinnitus, but usually have other associated symptoms like dizziness or significant hearing loss. Some of these can be Meniere's Disease, Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss and Acoustic Neuroma. As you can see, tinnitus is like headache or fever as a symptom - it can be something minor or very serious. The key is to find the underlying cause, if possible. Therefore, it is crucial to have an accurate diagnosis made ASAP. See your family physician and/or an otolaryngologist -- The sooner you receive treatment, the more effective it will be.

It is almost impossible to live with tinnitus but you don't have to. If you are hearing the noises, whether all the time or intermittently, you must seek treatment immediately. But sadly, conventional treatments only treat the symptoms of tinnitus and may provide temporary relief at best.

The only way you could ever get rid of your tinnitus for good is by following the holistic approach to healing. By using a multidimensional treatment for tinnitus, we are tackling all tinnitus causative factors and eliminating these triggering elements from the root. This is the only path for permanent freedom from tinnitus.

Answer 7

Ringing in the ear(s) is indeed tinnitus, though the sudden and short lasting ringing can result from just what you did, listening to loud noises for a prolong period of time, change of air pressure, infections and other minor disorders. In theses cases, it goes away.

Permanent tinnitus is caused by permanent damage to the ear which can be caused by the loud noises again for a long period of time at decibels over 85, ruptured eardrums, nerve damage, etc.

Answer 8

If you have true tinnitus it worsens in the evenings, at night. Many people with the disease have to sleep with music or a TV going to help drowned out the irritating noise. Ipods and nano's are going to be a big problem for your generation. Nerve damage is irreversible so take care of your ears and listen to your mom when she says, TURN THAT DOWN!!!!

Answer 9

LOL...yes...tinnitus simply means ringing in the ear...
there are many causes. But most common is ear drum damage after hearing high volume noise. It could be caused by nerve damange also. But if it's temporary and your doctor cleared you, I would worry too much. Just make sure not to listen to too loud of noise. Earphones are also bad.

Brief epidoes are harmless. But if you keep repeating, you could have permanent hearing reduction or loss...so be careful.
